Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus found herself at the center of social media backlash after posting a video revealing she was the only passenger in the business class cabin during a recent flight. Captioning the post with surprise, Badmus asked, “What happened?” as she panned across the empty section.
However, her post quickly ignited outrage online, with critics accusing her of being out of touch with the economic realities in Nigeria. Many highlighted her support for the current government, pointing out that the empty cabin was symbolic of the financial struggles Nigerians are facing.
One user remarked, “Doesn’t this say a lot about the government you support?” while another commented, “This is exactly why people are suffering. You’re flaunting privilege in a broken system.”

The controversy deepened as some users questioned Badmus’s tone-deafness, accusing her of flaunting her wealth at a time when many are struggling to make ends meet. Though some came to her defense, the majority of reactions were critical, with the actress being labeled as detached from the daily challenges faced by ordinary Nigerians.
The incident has reignited debates surrounding privilege and political allegiances, with many pointing to the contrast between the lifestyle of celebrities and the country's ongoing economic hardship.
